Captain A-OK Fights Blug-Glub-Glub
HIGH EXCITEMENT. CLICK HERE NOW. (Then read the rest once you've come back down to earth.)
A few months ago, we were approached by the folks at tor.com (major scifi publishing house) about producing a series of stories for them.
Apparently, the folks at tor.com are convinced that the printing of books as we know it (on paper and sold in stores, for example) is soon to come to a crashing halt, and so they have committed themselves to amassing a body of quality online literature/art/comics, etc.
Robbi and I put our heads together and tried to come up with something interesting that would work well in this context. Our solution: a single page of words and pictures that can be downloaded, printed out, cut once, folded three times, and then recombined into ten separate stories (with pictures). For those of you who are familiar with our books Ten Thousand Stories and After Everafter, here is a one-sheet riff on that idea. We call them One-Page Wonders.
Over the next few months, Tor.com will be publishing a series of four of these. We are happy to announce that the first of them, Captain A-OK Fights Blug-Glub-Glub is available now. By clicking here. So do it. And click here to see our glorious prominence (for the short-lived present) on the tor.com homepage.
Here is Captain A-OK.
Isn't he dashing? I think Robbi must have modeled him after me.
Be sure to take a moment to watch the nifty instructional film (with soundtrack by Drew Bunting and mad banjo by Brian Slattery) that Robbi produced to teach the teeming masses the various ways to combine the One-Page Wonders.
Get some scissors. Warm up your printer. Have fun.
